a guys asks on hacker news where are some good online communities. i explained what i was posting recently in here about them being dead since all good people left due to perverts that took over. and obviously my comment got flagged, even though i have not used any kind of pejoratives or spicy language. people have no idea how strong the censorship is EVERYWHERE. the gaslighting has never been larger in our entire human history than it is today, despite being the most connected we've ever been
@Justicar Isn't it a shame someone needs to ask? I think the problem is we're too interconnected. Back in the day, the biggest group you were a part of was probably a forum of some sort. Dedicated servers abounded with people who gave a shit running them. Now everything's centralized, fake, and gay.
@RegalBeagle even some old tech forums are full of people that know nothing of use. are you looking for a new email client? sure, here are 10 pages of comments. are you trying to solve a coding issue? crickets. that is what i was saying that experienced gen-x and old milenials left the building. the fat lady is singing no more.
@Justicar Can't deny that. I deleted Facebook years ago. I got a good group of guys, but like you say, we're talking about moving off Discord and over to TeamSpeak or something we host locally. If we gotta worry about some fag getting their panties in a bunch over memes reporting the server, then we gotta screen new guys. It's a hell of our own making. No one wants to be a sysad and everyone wants everything centralized. And companies want to farm our data, so no more dedicated servers
